Miscellaneous
From farm to fork, nearly one-third of produce and cooked food is being thrown away. And the culprits are to be found everywhere: among manufacturers and producers, throughout logistics, in stores and restaurants, and among consumers, such as you and I. This fairly recent development amounts to a staggering waste of use of land, water, energy and calories. Love Zero Waste is dedicating an episode of the podcast to ending food waste from the consumers' perspective. Guests on the show are some of the most interesting initiatives out there, aiming to drastically reduce food waste and help save the planet. We're meeting with Estefania Coral Andrade, Vågen - Zero Waste Butik, and Helén Williams, associate professor at Karlstad University, focusing her research on food packaging and the reduction of food waste.
